Pseudonym Poem by Douglas Scotney
Pseudonym
Rating: ★5.0
Not discounting,
for that it was probably
penned by the English,
'nom de plume'
isn't used in France,
you might assume,
for that it smacks of birds
and featherweights.
The French prefer 'nom de guerre',
for the battle-smack of words.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
re writers who use nom de plumes.
after the surprise that 'nom de plume' is an English fabrication (a back-translation) .
'plume' is both 'pen' and 'feather' in French. 'guerre' is 'war'
see my 'Smoke In The Academy'.
